Red Velvet Cake is not just a chocolate cake with red food colouring added. This cake is softer than most, "velvet-like", and the chocolate taste is actually quite mild. It's more like a cross between a vanilla and chocolate cake with a very subtle tang from buttermilk. You can cook Red velvet cake using 9 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Ingredients of Red velvet cake

1. You need 1/8 of cup.
2. It's 1/2 cup of curd.
3. Prepare 1/3 cup of sugar.
4. It's 1 cup of all purpose flour.

And it is generously smothered in a fluffy cream cheese frosting. Red velvet is a wonderful chocolate cake alternative, something a little different and is perfect for any celebration. And unlike a lot of chocolate sponge recipes, which have a tendency to dry out quite quickly, I can safely say that this stays moist and still tastes fresh a few days later, making it a perfect cake to make in advance. Divide cake mixture into three prepared tins.

Look for a non-alkalized one for this old-fashioned recipe.
